BootyGif 09/06/17 10:08:30 PM #1:	Arrow may be getting political once again in an upcoming episode of season 6. After a divisive topical episode in season 5, Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim wants to tackle the Black Lives Matter movement in season 6. If fans wonder what approach Arrow will take in regard to the issue, ‘Spectre of the Gun’ could provide clues. The show’s first politically themed episode had Team Arrow members Rene and Curtis (Echo Kellum) clash over the issue with Rene opposing gun control and Curtis in support of it. The show’s ending didn’t try to prove either character right, instead opting to provide a bipartisan solution that left both characters pleased. Arrow could repeat this tactic in season 6 by continuing to present viewpoint from both sides. It could be seen as an effective way to avoid offending half of the show’s fan base. It’s unclear if the episode will directly feature Black Lives Matter or if it will create a new group that will simply be based on the movement. http://screenrant.com/arrow-showrunner-black-lives-matter-episode-season-6/ --- https://i.imgtc.com/4s4wNqG.png <cite>BootyGif posted [p:886158758] in Arrow Plan...

Spoils for that episode and some minor shit from the rest of the season Random mass shooting occurs in city hall. Oliver (the main character) is the Mayor of Star City and wants to propose some gun control laws for the city to respond to the attack. There's some generic monster of the week villain doing stuff, but that's mostly in the background as each character has their own opinion on gun control that has to be shared! Some are opposed to it, some are for it, but you can tell it was a bunch of comic book writers coming up with the dialogue because it was all the same boring talking points you see people on CE bring up. Then at the end Ollie compromises with a particularly far-right councilwoman on "common sense" gun control that will preserve all of our freedom but keep the guns out of the hands of bad guys. They never explain what this policy is, of course, then it ends. --- #FeelTheBern http://i.imgur.com/q5z4CUu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6B9oFXh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sy42Dlf.jpg <cite>lilORANG posted [p:886165819] in Arrow Plan...
